Surgical site infections are a common concern in the operating room. They impact patient safety, hospital rankings, and healthcare reimbursements. Mounting evidence has begun to identify the role of the operating room environment as a likely a contributor to an increased risk for surgical site infections. Enhanced disinfection programs are often considered to improve terminal OR cleaning and achieve a safer surgical environment.

Dr. Roy Chemaly of MD Anderson Cancer Center and Dr. Jason Jennings of Colorado Joint Replacement will discuss their choice to enhance their OR cleaning protocol with pulsed xenon full spectrum UV disinfection. Dr. Chemaly, an infectious disease expert, reviews his own research into pulsed xenon light disinfection. Dr. Jason Jennings, a leading orthopedic surgeon with Colorado Joint Replacement, will review factors influencing surgical site infections and the evidence that compelled him to add enhanced disinfection robots.
